My Name is
Francisca
Francisca
Francisca’s mother died after a short illness when Francisca was one year old. Her father died six months later. After the death of her father, Francisca lived with her grandfather who was also taking care of Francisca’s cousin, Kofi. The grandfather had no meaningful source of income and struggled just to feed the children. Social welfare has asked the Rafiki Foundation to assume the care of both of these children. They arrived at Rafiki Village Ghana in December 2009.
